Eames Doubles in a "Weird Spot"

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante
John Eames
John Eames

Preflop, while John Eames was making a decision, a player after him acted out of turn, raising to 200. The player pulled his bet back and Eames just limped in, prompting the player to make the same raise of 200. The big blind called the 200, as did Eames.

On the flop of {8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{J-Spades}, the big blind checked, as did Eames. The original raiser made it 525, which was enough to make the big blind fold. Eames though moved all in for just over 1,200 and was called by the raiser.

Eames: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
Raiser: {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

The {6-Clubs} turn and {9-Diamonds} river were not good for the original raiser though as Eames doubled through to just over starting stack.

"That was a weird spot," Eames said to another player after the hand in reference to the preflop action.
